SO??? It proves nothing because achieving this sort of accomplishment in the lab under carefully designed and controlled conditions, and having the exact same thing (actually something more complex which would include DNA) occur in an open system apart from any directing intelligence, are two entirely different things.
There are a number of serious objections to the Miller-Ulrey chemical experiment, which render the model suspect.
- The concentrations of methane and ammonia were carefully selected to insure the production of organic molecules. There is no evidence to suggest that the earth’s “primitive” atmosphere was so characterized. -R.L. Wysong
2.There is no evidence to indicate that the earths early atmosphere was reducing. There is , however, considerable evidence to suggest that the earth had an oxidizing atmosphere over most, if not all, of history. -Wilder-Smith, A.E.
3. A methane-ammonia reducing atmosphere would be fatal to life forms. R. L. Wysong.
4. The simulation of lightning by mild spark discharges is unrealistic. Actual lightning would have destroyed any organics which may have been present.
5. The molecules produced in the Miller-Urey apparatus would react detrimentally to life forms which allegedly were trying to evolve. Chemically, they would destroy all hope of producing life. PArker, Gary. The fact that it takes the world’s greatest intellects utilizing the most advanced technology to barely unravel the most basic secrets of life only serves to indicate the necessity for intelligence in the beginning.
Man’s childish attempts to create life are completely futile. In fact, even if scientists were able to produce all of the necessary chemicals in the required relationships, life still would not result. Anyone who would like to verify that statement has only to try and raise the dead. The dead already contain the complex ingredients scientists are attempting to generate (cells, DNA, enzymes, and so on).
R. L. Wysong:
“Is not the hope to produce life by arriving at proper chemicals and chemical relationships in experiments a rather bizarre aspiration? It is futile. The trillions of organisms that die and have remained dead stand as solemn proof that life is a unique supernatural quality not reproducible by the puny efforts of men wistfully reaching like moths for the stars.” “In the beginning God Created…..”
If God is your creator, He’s then your Lord and Master. Evolutionist don’t want to give up being their own lord and master.
